AgentPProf: Semantic Profiler for Long Horizon AI Agents
AI agents increasingly orchestrate long-running activities with users, tools, and system resources for days and weeks.
Why am I seeing this Ranked on source trust — arXiv
It ranks mainly on source trust: arXiv is the most reliable outlet we track on this subject, and is the only one on the story so far.
Link-outLink-out, because it did not clear the bar for a write-up. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.
| Factor | Weight | Score | Contribution | Where it came from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corroboration | 0.35 | 0.39 | +0.135 26% | 1 independent org on the story. Tier-3 aggregators never corroborate — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true. |
| Source trustleads | 0.25 | 0.85 | +0.212 41% | arXiv is the highest-trust source on this story and is first-party — the organisation announcing its own news. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged. |
| Pickup rate | 0.20 | 0.00 | +0.000 0% | One counted organisation, so there is no spread to measure — nothing has picked this up to set a rate. |
| Freshness | 0.20 | 0.85 | +0.171 33% | Halves every 10 hours from the newest item on the story. This is the only factor that rewards a story for nothing more than being recent. |
Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.
What happened
AI agents increasingly orchestrate long-running activities with users, tools, and system resources for days and weeks. To improve agent quality, safety, and cost efficiency, developers need to determine where failures happen, what triggers unsafe effects, and which tasks consume the most budget, then optimize those tasks. In systems software, profiling answers similar questions by aggregating resource consumption and attributing it to responsible code paths to identify hotspots. Yet existing agent observability tools focus on per-execution debugging and tracing rather than cross-run, long term profiling, making these questions difficult to answer at scale.
How this story arrived
Ordered by when each source was first observed, which is what the velocity figure is computed from. Publishers backdate; observed order does not.
